country Is hsT' oiS iebl1ty ana
proShy IN. 1t goes under
many l., eles but it is essen
italy the gsne complaint.
Hospital 8; vate institu-
tons To-. PATIENTS are
crowded. .s average of life
in the u. Il States is de-
creasing every year. Sudden
deaths Ison nervous collapse
among our J inesS, profess
ional and public men are 50
frequent as secretly to excite
remark. Tie majority of sui
cides, committed without APP
parent treason, OF uuderso-called
depression of spirits" are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which IS fruitful
source ct insanity and crime
with all ,,.-;r Grief and horror.
These H.. are startling.
They tlrc-,,@ he very life of
the naj.oa. lacy assail the
springs OF its power and pros
rcrity. They wreck manhood's
strength aud woman's useful
ness and beauty.
Every one should know the
causes. What are they? The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the In
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence;
the fears and struggles of pow
erty; the use of narcotics and
stinulants;. our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards.
The disease from which we
suffer and die is, in plain Eng
lish, Nerous Dyspepsia, as it
Is seated in the Nerves and in
the organs Of Digestion, Assim-
ilation and Nutrition. Healthy
digestion being impeded OF des-
troyed, the whole body, nerves
included, is literally starred;
even when there is no ENACT
alton to tell the sad story.
Nervous proStration sends
out its wa1nings:-headache
in the morning; q persistent
dull hcaviness or aching at the
baseo the brain; wakefulness;
loss ofappatite and disgust with
food; loss of mental energy and
interest IN ordinary duties and
business; restlessness and anx-
iety without any assignable
reason; quotations; bad
breath; foul mucous on the
teeth; occasional giddiness;
palpitatiou of the heart; sal
lowness ot the skin; coated
tongrc and gradual failure of
strength ans ambition.
The remedy Is q total aban-
donmont of the habits and Gus
toms which cause the disease
in each individual case, and the
use of Siotcr ETtract Of Roots
(Seigcl's Syrup to cure tie
mischief already done. This
great remedy, prepared by the
Shaker Community of Mt. Leb-
anon, N. Y, is especially adapt
ed to eradicate Nervous Dys-
pepsia. To do this it acts
directly and gently but power
fully upon the disordered stom-
ach, liver and kidneys, restor-
ing their tone and vigor, pro- |
noting the secretion of bile, ex-
polling waste matters from the .
system, and purifying the blood. /
Upon the nervous system
Shaker ETtroct(S eioel's Syrup .
acts as q safe and wholesome
anodyne v.,lout the slightest
narcotic elect, and then leaves
the nerves 10 regain their nat
ural tone aulStgength through
its wonderful influence upon
the function of nutrition.
1t Is satt TO say more nerv-
Gus dyspc0,ics have been re-
stored by i from The depths
of misery to a .".sA enjoyment
of life al, ..,Joy than by any
or all othe. .oms of treatment
combined.
